I sat in a field of red poppies on a mountainside outside of Jerusalem. It was glorious. Visitors were having picnics among the flowers, cooking on their hibachis.

Remembering the day when I wandered in a field in red poppies with my daughter outside Jerusalem.

I dream of revisiting Monet’s garden again someday when the lilies are blooming.

Painting white flowers today which mostly means painting all around them!
"City of Lights" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Oil
I am finishing this painting for a local exhibition on travel. I have had this image in my mind since our trip to Paris over 5 years ago. Can’t wait to travel again!

"Wild Roses in Blue & White Vase" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Watercolor
The blue and white vase really makes this still life of wild roses.
"On the Loose Roses" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I took an online watercolor course yesterday by Pamela Harnois and painted this trio of roses. It is such a different way to paint, so loosely and yet still capture the essence of the flowers.
Flower Watercolor Sketches by Ann McCann
I am applying for several shows right now and have only had time to do some quicker paintings. Here is an example of my watercolor work, a daylily and a poppy.
"White Satin" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
A local store sells giant white hydrangeas with a secret recipe for making them last as long as two weeks. Mine are still going strong now at one week. So, I have been painting them. Here is my first version.
"Fancy Poppies" by Ann McCann 12 X 24" Oil
I picked the frilliest poppies I could find for this painting. They make a bright red statement. So does the long, lean canvas. Below I have two closeups of the painting. If you like color, this painting is for you!
Sarah's Bungalow Notecards by Ann McCann
I did a plein air painting of my neighbor’s house, and then created personalized notecards for her. I love these old houses in my East Dallas neighborhood.
"High on Marfa" by Ann McCann 10 X 20" Oil
After being on the high Texas desert in Marfa, I wanted to capture the size of the landscape. It is big! This long canvas conveys the length and depth of the scene. And, the big Texas sky.
